the same," referenee being liad'to the drawing The object of my ifven'tion "n.-provide a` paper box for packing, small waresfand samples, solcut and foldedas toqhave allv .needed and still be very'eoon'omioal inlthense of ma-v terialorstocli.

terns and manner offoldingcthemfas herein- Figure 14 represeiilts'aascut rjbox- Fig. 2 is a section of the box,A,`-; on ne through its center from fendi-to end-fdi a,V a, front LetterA denotes one pattern forms the turn up andtorlnstays, l as iii-Fig'. 2 "e, parts pletes `the box,- being tuokedinto the slot t in name to this specification 'in the Witnesses:

lf thought desirable, thevpieces f f may have one entering the other, as' h enters g, thus making two tucks tosecure the mouth of the.

box. v One feature-of box A is cutting the pieces e for the sides abouttwothirds the width the 'box is to be, and so as to make the overlap run up and downthe cen-ter of the sides, stiftening the box, but leaving the remainder ofthe sides of a single thickness, thus securing a great saving of stock. A

' I de not confine 'myself to any'delinite ex tent-oi" overlap of the pieces e. ".lhey may be out a little wider and overlap more, ora little' narrower and overlap less. Sucient 'tirinness to answer thev use to, which the box is to be put is what is required. .i

Asa means of stiti'ening the front and rear of the box, strips Z may be glued or pasted.

'What I claim as' my invention, and desire ,to secure by Letters Patent, is-

-The paper boxy herein describedthat is, provided with the strengthening central overlap e at the sides, as set.-forth, and also the closing lapels g, h, andf f, cut and folded as and for the'purposes spiee'ied.V l

In testimony. whereof I have signed my two' subscribing witnesses.
